We'll come back to these issues in a minute, but I'd like to say something about the theories of Robin Dunbar—an anthropologist at Oxford University.
我们稍后会回到这些议题上,但我想谈谈罗宾·邓巴的理论——他是牛津大学的人类学家。
Dunbar is not against online relationships, but he maintains that face-to-face interaction is essential for the initial creation of true friendship and connections.
邓巴并不反对线上关系,但他坚持认为,面对面的交流对于最初建立真正的友谊和联系至关重要。
According to Dunbar, online social networking appears to be very good for "servicing" relationships, but not for establishing them.
